what about implementing OpenID accross some

I've looked at OpenID a couple of times and I'm still unsure of the
benefits it really brings. Where lies the virtue of a centralized
login across many sites that have nothing in common?

Instead of logging to to Wikimedia with a foreign OpenID, I would
rather like to see Wikimedia become an OpenID provider, so that I can
login to other sites with a .wikimedia.org OpenID :)
There is an open bug for it and also some code in SVN.
